Loved it.

PS - thanx for those very kind remarks.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Nice progression, and love the hypnotic groove!

Sure, it would be nice with a vocal, but you have enough interesting things going on that it also works very well as an instrumental.

Well done, your best yet I think.

Hey Dave, many thanks for the positive review and feedback.
You are observant indeed. Because I don't sing I try to compensate with embellishments that hopefully are interesting to most listeners.
The trick [for me] is to not overly embellish smile

Sometimes less is more.

Nice - as others have said, a strong Pink Floyd vibe.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Please remix with the bass centred - I like it's tone and arrangement but it's doing my head in over there.
You've REALLY move ahead with leaps & bounds.
Ace.

BassThumper:

Really nice sound you have hear—wonderful instrumentation. Like others, I kept waiting for a singer to kick in given those poetic lines you’ve penned to go with. That piano is very engaging and the Pink Floyd-ish lead solo is excellent. Well done!

All my best to you,

Deej

This is very neat indeed. Besides the pinkish vibe I am hearing Neal Young's "Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby. There is no reason for you to hide. It's so hard for me staying here all alone.." A nice arrangement and mix. Liked it a lot.

Loved the intro. Very Pink Floydish. Cool bass lines. Would love to here it with the lyrics. Well done

This floats along nicely, sort of an out-of-body experience gliding at 3,000 feet. Production is finely textured. I enjoyed the listening experience.

"Pink Floyd-ish in a very positive way, I like it."

Our thoughts nailed.

It's an overused word but "mesmerizing" comes to mind.
Your tracks and the BiaB tracks have a very cohesive sound - great illustration of how it can all come together.

Thought provoking lyric indeed.

Cool to hear such efforts from a bass player. I spend many years as one looking at the backside of the other four band members on stage smile Now with BiaB I can better express myself!

We enjoyed it.

Storm, many thanks for the listen and review. Glad you enjoyed it.

J&B, thanks to you too. I'm glad you think my and the BiaB tracks are cohesive. Much effort goes into selecting various voices that I hope co-habitate well together. Then I have to give tons of credit to Studio One which has very flexible "volume automation" onboard.

Be sure to check out the remix posted today.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
